Different from MY WOMAN (and I did like it more). Before, Angel Olsen‘s music seemed to be mostly influenced by Mazzy Star, but now the contemporaries Beach House come to mind. A decent album.

Somehow I heard about Natasha Khan‘s work for a long time, but this is her first record I listened. I must say, I’m in love with this album. From what I understand, this is an experimentation from her. It is brilliant. Some of the best synthpop ideas fill this album. But more than that, you will hear Elizabeth Fraser-like heavenly vocals and Cocteau Twins‘esque overall atmosphere. Well done.
There is something about this album I like very much. At times I recalled Stereolab, at times Mitski, and Curve, Pavement, Women. But it’s more a “spiritual” connection. Overall, very good.
“Thought I was the only one. Turned out I was everyone.“
A mix between Cocteau Twins, Lowlife, Curve influenced dream pop and teen pop à la Britney Spears (or who is popular today?). Interesting.
The LP is an improvement over the 2018’s debut EP, although the first song from the latter is very good.
So good. Like coming back to the early 90’s slowcore/dream pop scene. Nostalgic Red House Painters’esque basslines.
Not a complaint, but I did notice that And Then There’s You is a child of Bedhead’s Haywire.
Anyway, I like both a lot.
The sound on the first track is unbelievable. Overall, very good effort. The cover song is great too.
